Postcard collecting is a very addictive hobby, but its a lot of fun, and you get in touch with lots of nice people worldwide...

MALAYSIA

Received lovely cards from Malaysia, Russia (with great stamps) and Ukraine today.The sender from Malaysia wrote that they have hot weather there... I'm so jealous of her, here we have snow again and low temperatures... I'm so tired of this winter....:

The iconic Sultan Abdul Samad building is located in front of Dataran Merdeka and Royal Selangor Club.It was completed in 1897 by A.C. Norman and was used to house several government departments at the time of the British administration in Malaya. Today, this historical building houses the Supreme and High Courts. The building with unique Moorish designs and clock tower is widely photographed by visitors to the city centre.On important occasions, the building is decorated with colourful lights and flags. The famous Dataran Merdeka is also just across the street from the Sultan Abdul Samad building.
